This is a first national manual to help local government achieve best practice in governance. It is designed for mayors, councillors, and senior management to assist decision-making processes, financial management and overall accountability to the local community, and can be used as part of an induction kit for new councillors and to determine responsibilities among elected members.
It also features a self-assessment tool to assess current governance performance and assist with the development of plans to build on existing work-place practice.
